What is the purpose of marriage? Just to follow sunnah, ritual, to do sth lawfully, status, create own identity in the form of a new being or something else?
If the goal is clear and of course also the goal of the partner with mutual sincere understanding then i think there should not be any problem in unity. But often media and other issues derail our set goals and we are driven by fantasy desires. But one thing you are right- life is more beautiful being a single.
